I want to go ahead and make a public apology. For a while now we have been allowing our children to sometimes skip church to attend extra curicular activities on Wednesday nights. Usually about once or twice a month. Tonight one of our children has tumbling practice then cheer practice for basketball scheduled. Im making an apology for two reasons. First to apologize to God for ever allowing this to start. We repent. Secondly to apologize to coaches and teammates who will be let down because our child will not be there. Here is why. Arbie and I vow to uphold the gospel of Jesus Christ at every cost. We live and we die by the sword. Satan can take our health, our home, our job and our children from us but in the end we will stand like Job. There are times that Arbie and I dont agree on everything and there are times we may get mad at one another and not even like each other for a couple hours until we quit pouting. However what it boils down to is this. When we married each other we made a commitment to God to stand beside each other for better or worse, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. In the past weve both failed at relationships. I can honestly say for my self and myself only that I did not ever take my previous relationships as serious as I do this one and for the reason being was because I never made the covenant with God like I did when I married Arbie. I said the words but I didnt speak them from my heart. We dont have a problem with our children being involved with other things but there is a time and a season for everything. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday we will have our kids wherever they need to be. However, on Wednesday and Sundays from now on is family days and they will be with us in Church. Im sorry if this offends anyone but most importantly we have to worry about offending God. He is the one that supplies our children with thier next breath. So as for me and my house we will serve The Lord. Father forgive us. Exodus 20:3-5King James Version (KJV) 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
